    At least tell us where you are, and someone might be able to help.....

    Your best bet is http://www.broadband.gov.ie/ and google to search for your area.

    Just a warning about Clearwire....They block access to p2p , torrent, and skype. All very popular services, in fact up to 40% of all internet traffic is by torrents. To all who say torrents are just illeagal downloading, alot of big and small companies use it to transfer large files. The BBC and Warnerbros have recently done deals with torrent clients to send episodes and films this way.
    I have found clearwire customer service very good and prompt, but there must be a 'false advertising' issue with this.....do they advertise a partial internet service...i dont think so! It's like saying 256k downloading speed is broadband...with clearwire you can access 60% of the internet!!
    Then again if you want the internet for email, and browsing web pages its fine.....for vop, file downloading/sharing, or even large streams....try another ISP
